This BMW robot sculpture is the best use of wrecked car parts that I have ever seen. Sometimes the ultimate driving machine hits a wall that it can't break through. That's where Bruce Gray comes in.
Bruce Gray is the sculptor who was commissioned to make art out of a wrecked 2005 BMW 645Cl convertible. The resulting BMW robot sculpture looks cooler than anything I've ever seen in a wrecking yard. Giving new life to old autos is a huge craze these days. I look forward to seeing more totaled car sculptures.

3. Sustainable Art - Creating sculptures with repurposed materials serves not only as a creative outlet but addresses sustainability issues of waste and recycling.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive Manufacturing - There is a potential for automakers to repurpose old or damaged vehicle parts to create unique works of art for branding and promotional purposes.
2. Fine Arts - The use of car parts in sculptures represents an opportunity for automakers to tap into the fine arts space to increase brand awareness and foster new brand audiences.
3. Metalworking - Carpentry shops that specialize in metalworking may benefit from producing art from repurposed car parts as a new revenue stream and an opportunity to showcase their craftsmanship.
